Quality PolicyAs one of few stocking distributors to achieve ISO 9001:2008 certification, ANSI/ESD S20.20:2007 certification, CTI CCAP-101 certification, AS9120 certification and AS5553 compliance, North Shore Components has developed unique quality control protocols and policies that set the gold standard for our industry. Environmental PolicyNorth Shore Components Inc. (NSC) business model is based on the procurement, repackaging and distribution of electrical, electronic, and electro-mechanical board level components and assemblies. In addition, the utilization of counterfeit detection methods and tests to ensure electrical, electronic, and electro-mechanical board level components and assemblies are authentic to Manufacturer specifications. RoHS ComplianceIn February 2003, the European Union adopted the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) Directive that restricts the use of Lead (Pb), Cadmium, Mercury, Hrexavalent Chromium, and PBB/PBDE flame retardant materials in certain classes of consumer electronic products sold throughout Europe. The RoHS directive took effect on July 1, 2006. Counterfeit Components Control PolicyCounterfeit components filtering into the supply chain are causing a huge economic impact on the electronics industry. Based on a review of various industry sources it is believed that approximately 30-35% of all components being sold are counterfeit. To address this problem, North Shore Components has implemented a proactive and comprehensive Counterfeit Electronic Parts Control Plan for the sourcing, procurement, detection and control of Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical parts purchased and sold from the Open Market. |
